Since the discovery of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) in 1993 there has been extensive interest in understanding, developing and tuning the nature of magnetic interactions within SMMs with the intention of gaining greater insight into the nature of these interactions.[1] Typically this is done synthetically using variations in ligand geometry and co-ordination environment to vary magnetic behaviour. More recently it has been demonstrated that high hydrostatic pressure are also an effective mechanism for "tuning" properties such as magnetic susceptibility in a variety of SMMs.[2] The number of studies utilising high hydrostatic pressure to investigate molecular magnetism is extremely limited due to their inherent difficulty however we report a new study investigating the pressure tunabilty of Re(IV) based SMMs. 4d and 5d metal ions such as Re are of interest due their enhanced magnetic exchanges relative to their 3d analogues and Re(IV) based complexes are of particular interest. Previous studies into [ReX6]2-(X = Cl, Br and I) anions demonstrate significant antiferromagnetic coupling, not transmitted through chemical interactions but rather through weak Re-X...X interactions in the solid state which may be easily perturbed at high pressure. [3] Therefore we report an investigation into the tunability of magnetic susceptibility in a variety of [ReX4] based compounds using high pressure magnetic susceptibility measurements and correlate the results with structure observations taken from high pressure single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The effects of the removal of solvent trapped in the lattice using temperature and vacuum and the corresponding effect on magnetic behaviour and chemical structure are also reported.

AbstractLuminescent single-molecule magnets (SMMs) constitute a class of molecular materials offering optical insight into magnetic anisotropy, magnetic switching of emission, and magnetic luminescent thermometry. They are accessible using lanthanide(III) complexes with advanced organic ligands or metalloligands. We present a simple route to luminescent SMMs realized by the insertion of well-known organic cations, tetrabutylammonium and tetraphenylphosphonium, into dysprosium(III) borohydrides, the representatives of metal borohydrides investigated due to their hydrogen storage properties. We report two novel compounds, [n-Bu4N][DyIII(BH4)4] (1) and [Ph4P][DyIII(BH4)4] (2), involving DyIII centers surrounded by four pseudo-tetrahedrally arranged BH4– ions. While 2 has higher symmetry and adopts a tetragonal unit cell (I41/a), 1 crystallizes in a less symmetric monoclinic unit cell (P21/c). They exhibit yellow room-temperature photoluminescence related to the f–f electronic transitions. Moreover, they reveal DyIII-centered magnetic anisotropy generated by the distorted arrangement of four borohydride anions. It leads to field-induced slow magnetic relaxation, well-observed for the magnetically diluted samples, [n-Bu4N][YIII0.9DyIII0.1(BH4)4] (1@Y) and [Ph4P][YIII0.9DyIII0.1(BH4)4] (2@Y). 1@Y exhibits an Orbach-type relaxation with an energy barrier of 26.4(5) K while only the onset of SMM features was found in 2@Y. The more pronounced single-ion anisotropy of DyIII complexes of 1 was confirmed by the results of the ab initio calculations performed for both 1–2 and the highly symmetrical inorganic DyIII borohydrides, α/β-Dy(BH4)3, 3 and 4. The magneto-luminescent character was achieved by the implementation of large organic cations that lower the symmetry of DyIII centers inducing single-ion anisotropy and separate them in the crystal lattice enabling the emission property. These findings are supported by the comparison with 3 and 4, crystalizing in cubic unit cells, which are not emissive and do not exhibit SMM behavior.
